Abstract

Immediate and long-term outcomes of adenomectomy have been analyzed for patients with prostatic adenoma with a history of 1-3 myocardial infarctions (185 subjects), 1-2 episodes of cerebral circulation disorder (74 cases) on pulmonary artery thromboembolism (3 cases). The surgery was urgent because of acute urine retention for 88 patients, while it was scheduled in 174 patients. The postoperative developments were uneventful in 84.9%, 87.8%, 100% of postinfarction, postapoplectic and post-thromboembolism patients, respectively. Postoperative lethal outcomes occurred in 6.5% of patients with postinfarction cardiosclerosis, 5.4% of those with postapoplectic complications. As shown by long-term follow-up available for 225 patients, 19 of them died (8.4%), 296 survived 1-11 years after the surgery. One more myocardial infarction developed in 17, apoplexy in 3 patients. Long-term functional results of adenomectomy can be considered good in most of the patients in absence of a significant progression of cardiovascular disease. The authors think adenomectomy not contraindicated and promising in terms of short- and long-term outcomes if made in above kind of patients 4, 6 and 9-12 months after myocardial infarction, pulmonary artery th...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
